Can I get a doctor’s note from DrHouse?
A doctor’s note (sick note) can only be issued for an acute medical condition and if it’s medically appropriate.
Before starting the visit, you can request a doctor’s note in the intake form. Your doctor will prepare and sign your excuse note after your visit. It usually takes less than 1 hour to send the signed note. However, on some rare occasions, sending the signed note may take 4+ hours. Your doctor’s note will be emailed to you.
